Cystamine(CAT: I016412) is a chemical compound that belongs to the family of disulfide compounds. It is derived from cysteamine, an amino acid naturally produced by the body. Cystamine is often used as a crosslinking agent in polymer chemistry and as a reducing agent in certain chemical reactions. It has also been studied for its potential therapeutic applications in the treatment of certain genetic disorders, such as cystinosis, where it helps to reduce the accumulation of cystine crystals in the cells. Additionally, cystamine has been investigated for its potential neuroprotective properties and its ability to modulate cellular processes involved in oxidative stress and apoptosis.
